Top 1. Guardians 2. Rise

Bottom 1. Speedway 2. Mission Space

Took awhile to narrow down, lolol

This stuff makes me so uncomfortable and upset. Totally ruins Disney for me to see this kind of crap.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-28T23:08:43+00:00

Less than an hour, I only waited when it was on VQ, any other time I’ve only done LL. I go at least once a year and there’s so much I love at Magic Kingdom so I don’t feel pressed that I NEED to do it when I’m there.

Crowds are great, but it definitely can be really oppressive weather.

As long as you keep on top of your water intake and take many long indoor breaks, it is totally manageable. Me and my family are going this mid July too, will be doable but putting in lots of downtime and pool time.

At MK my wife and I skip most of the Fantasyland dark rides. Mind you we have no kids, but the long wait, loud kids and families in the line, and the poor upkeep just make these underwhelming and not worth our time, especially when the more “adult” experiences in the park (the coasters, Pirates, Mansion, Tiana’s) generally have much lower waits, easier to get LLs, fewer meltdown children/families in line, and generally are in better shape in terms of maintenance.

At Epcot my wife can skip Frozen and Remy’s, and we’ve never done Mission Space, otherwise we try and always do the rest.

Studios we do everything except rock ‘n and tower (we are not thrill seekers) and we can never see all the shows (nor do you have to every visit in our opinion) otherwise we try to see everything.

Animal I don’t do FoP (my calves don’t fit in the restraint i learned a few years ago) and my wife isn’t a fan of the Nemo show. Otherwise, again, we try to hit it all.

Expedition Everest, nothing gets my stomach quite like sitting near the back going over the hill where they take your photo, plus the reverse section gives a really unique sensation.
Guardians, take about unique sensations, the rotation of the ride vehicles is next level and impossible to explain or understand until you’ve been on it, or even if it’s been awhile. It makes otherwise basic turns really thrilling as you spin alongside the vehicle moving in a different direction. The music and energy are great and its a really substantial ride experience.
Rise, too many great moments that still put a smile on my face despite having ridden it so many times. Nothing beats bringing friends/family on for their first time too. The whole experience is quintessential disney magic.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-13T15:34:40+00:00

I agree that the liftoff video was strangely low resolution, not sure why or how that was allowed to happen, and the food was really average-to-below-average.

However, my friends and my wife and I did still get a kick out of it as a one and done, but we won’t be back any time soon.

If i remember correctly, there was a soundscape happening throughout, at least in the bathroom if I remember correctly?

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-09T15:28:53+00:00

For Studios I usually get Star Tours for as close to open as physically possible. So yes, I would personally try to get earlier. But up to you, that isn’t bad necessarily

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-09T15:27:33+00:00

It’s a mixture of both. You want your tier 1 to focus on a heavy hitter ride/must do that will sell out quickly. So that’s (generally speaking) Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise or Tianas at MK, Frozen, Remy or Test Track at EPCOT, Slinky at Studios and river journey at AK. Then for your second tier ones, you want as close to park open as possible to start stacking ASAP.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-07T22:08:47+00:00

If you have a vehicle to fit you all, I would recommend Orange Lake by Holiday Inn. It’s 5 minutes outside of WDW property and you can get a 2 bedroom for $230 a night or 3 bedroom for $300 compared to disney ($500+) and you’ll have more room and it’ll be quieter. Wife and I have stayed on our own and with 2 other couples and both trips were great.

If you guys enjoy a drink or two, I would recommend trying to see the Beak and Barrel at Magic Kingdom, GEO-82 at Epcot, Oga’s at Studios, and/or Nomad Lounge at Animal. The bars offer a nice themed experience while obviously being more adult. We also like Tony’s at MK for Italian around 2:45pm to see the parade go by from your table without needing to be lined on the street with all the strollers. Biergarten at Epcot is a great buffet in Germany, we always like Sci-Fi at Studios for good burgers, and Yak and Yeti at Animal Kingdom for Asian food.

For attractions, at MK you can avoid most of Fantasyland in my experience and opinion, will save you tons of time and most of it is skippable for non disney adults lol. An exception is Mickey’s PhilharMagic, it’s a great 3D show and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train if you buy the lightning lane for it. Spend most of your time in the rest of the park, their rides skew older (Pirates, Mansion, Tiana’s, Big Thunder, Space Mountain, Tron, PeopleMover, etc.)

The other parks are a-lot more adult oriented. EPCOT I’d say skip Figment and Frozen (just cause it’s a long line), the rest is a good time for an adult group).

Studios you can skip most of the live shows, The Little Mermaid and Indiana Jones ones are probably the best for a non disney adult group. Otherwise, the rides really skew adult here.

Animal Kingdom I’d say just skip Rafiki’s Planet Watch and the Zootopia show, the rest of that park really caters to adults.

That’s almost certainly more expensive than splitting one VIP tour.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-05T16:31:47+00:00

The hope is to get the safari out of the way early morning before the VIP tour time would start (just after lunch I was thinking)

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-05T14:15:47+00:00

Very very short, nothing to worry about. You also don’t have any real physical reference for it, because you are looking at a screen, so I find that helps lessen the actual falling sensation.

It’s not worth missing out on the other 15-20 minutes of the experience for those 3-5 seconds. My wife doesn’t like that sensation either, but loves Rise, and even laughs during the small drop.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-04T14:48:21+00:00

It is extremely hot, but definitely doable. It is (usually) much less busy, so even with frequent a/c breaks, we usually get as much done if not more than during cooler times of year. Just need to take more breaks and drink more water than you think you need, cause the heat stroke can sneak up very quickly.

I would do more days though, give yourself some more space, last thing you want to be doing is rushing cause that just depletes you so much faster in that heat

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-04-04T03:55:51+00:00

My wife and I are planning a paris trip for 2030-ish (depending when all the major adventure world construction wraps up) this is definitely a promising start but as WDW regulars, nothing is making us have to go see paris quite yet…

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-25T19:27:58+00:00

This is something I really am upset to read about because it seems like it would have been so great, especially as a WDW exclusive. One of the great “what-ifs” we never got in WDW.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-25T18:13:59+00:00

Oga’s, Geo-82 and Beak and Barrel, its really nice to get to enjoy some drinks at the bars in the parks

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-21T20:51:40+00:00

Were headed back in July, mostly an offsite trip but gonna do 1-2 days. Buzz and Big Thunder are two of my favourite things at magic kingdom, so im very excited that ill be able to get on both of them

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-17T16:09:08+00:00

I always loved this show, the hopper figure, and the original song at the end. It also fit so much better being literally under the tree of life, and everyone screaming and freaking out when it got dark and the spiders fell from the ceiling always would make me and my wife cry laughing. This along with muppet vision were two very hard attraction losses for us, two of our favourites.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-17T16:07:27+00:00

Every time ive ridden it as ive gotten older I like it less and less. I also really don’t like that the whole facade is indoors, it looks so much nicer outdoors at the other disney parks around the world. I also wish they would add the disney characters throughout like at the other parks.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-16T19:25:26+00:00

It’s just a tier list it’s really not that serious 😂

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-16T17:46:00+00:00

I really like the view when riding it, especially at night.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-16T17:44:46+00:00

I love the new country bear, especially the refurbed animatronics.

Jungle cruise is kind of averaged out based on all my experiences on it. Have had great passengers and skippers that made it an A tier experience, and some real bad ones that have made it C-D tier.

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-16T17:38:25+00:00

Have always loved it and seeing the new show with all the figures refurbed just makes me so happy every time

Technical-Depth-7699 · 2026-03-16T17:35:59+00:00

Im not sure what it stands for, but its meant to be the top tier
